String Templates

By Linda Farmer, CZT

Background: In the process of creating a Zentangle one begins by lightly penciling a border and a “string”, generally a freeform shape, on the 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ (9 cm x 9 cm) tile of high quality paper, into which one then draws intricate patterns, “tangles” using a Sakura Micron Pen.

The idea for STRING TEMPLATES was first suggested by Sandra Strait in this post on TanglePatterns.com.

UPDATE: There is now a separate category on the pink alphabetic menu for STRINGS with a new string added every Saturday morning.

As a Newbie,I am thankful for the string ideas! So far I have been tangling around and through letters of the alphabet, but now have finished one alphabet set, but didn’t couldn’t get the hang of how to work without the alphabet letters “crutches” ! I even tried getting a piece of real string, shutting my eyes and dropping it on to the square, but found it was dropping and curling into too small an area ! Also I have just been away on holiday and the thing I missed most about home was my tangling ! I am well and truly hooked…….THANKYOU ! :-))

I wanted to thank you for your hard work. I have been a doodler for many many years and now enjoy tangling even more. My father recently passed away and it has been helping me with my depression. My next step is to order your kit or to find a class nearby. Thanks again.
